- Abstract
The article discusses James Fenimore Cooper and William Gilmore Simms debate on Indian Removal. It mentions that Andrew Jackson and Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830. It mentions that reflecting the continued conflict between Native Americans and Western European settlers during the Jacksonian Indian Wars of the 1830s, policy of Indian Removal became a racist and genocidal policy designed to expel members of the Cherokee.
